AN INVESTIGATION OF CAREER BENEFITS FROM THE MANCOSA MBA QUALIFICATION
"... Abstract This paper examines the career benefits of the MANCOSA MBA qualification. This study tests the hypothesis that there is a positive link between obtaining the MBA qualification, productivity at the workplace and career enhancement. This study also tests human capital theory which declares t ..."

Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

SIMULATION, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR MIGRATORY BIRD TRACKING
, 2012
"... This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable reli ..."

General Terms
"... We present new lowest energy configurations for several large benchmark problems for the two-dimensional hydrophobichydrophilic model. We found these solutions with a generic implementation of tabu search using an apparently novel set of transformations that we call pull moves. Our experiments show ..."

EXPERIMENTS IN TURBULENT SOAP-FILM FLOWS: MARANGONI SHOCKS, FRICTIONAL DRAG, AND ENERGY SPECTRA BY
"... We carry out unprecedented experimental measurements of the frictional drag in turbulent soap-film flows over smooth walls. These flows are effectively two-dimensional, and we are able to create soap-film flows with the two types of turbulent spectrum that are theoretically possible in two dimension ..."

dimensions: the “enstrophy cascade, ” for which the spectral exponent α = 3, and the “inverse energy cascade, ” for which the spectral exponent α = 5/3. We find that the functional relation between the frictional drag f and the Reynolds number Re depends on the spectral exponent: where α = 3, f ∝ Re−1/2

"... Ultracold atoms in optical lattices provide a highly control-lable environment for the clean experimental realization of various model Hamiltonians from condensed matter and statistical physics. For example, the two-component Bose-Hubbard model, which re-duces to an anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg m ..."
